I think the black paint helped a little but not sure if there's much I can do about side view. Maybe move the LEDs further away.
Always hard to get photos of LEDs so these are just to give you an idea.

Very nice.
That rimg is one very tough piece to make light up. I've replaced the incandescent with an LED version, w/o any real improvement. The bulb slides into such a small opening, which limits the size of the bulb, and mounts too far away from the ring, to do any real good. Your solution seems to have really done the trick. Congrats.

Very Nice!!!
I also noticed you connected wires to the window switches then to the harness, that way the switches fit easier with out cutting any openings!

That was my fix for the longer switches. But it makes it easy to disconnect them under the ash tray anyway. I also wired the LEDs so they only come on with the lights on.

Would electroluminescent wire be bright enough? $9 online...

I am planning on doing that as well, lighting the switches with the lights on and gonna try to do the same with the A/C Fascia.
